The Great Breckenridge.

The Stanton (va.) Yindic ator
thus describes Col. Breckinridge's
address at the close Of the Virginia
canvass
"Col. Breckenridge was then in
troduced by Judge Shelley. The
Democrats had announced him by
handbills during the day as the
great Kentucky orator and it was
not. FIVE minutes before the audi

nor young have ever heard the equal
of that speech in Staunton by any
orator whatever-neither in the
stirring eloquence, the purity of the
English, the wonderful art Of group
ing iacts,, the, equally wonderful fac
nlty, Of condemnation, the minor
gracen ofelpcution, such as graceful
gesture and fitting inhettion-in
short, in nothing that goes to make
up a,really great speaker, From
the beginning he had the audience,
and no three minutes elapsed that
the people were not cheering-not
mere applading, but cheering His
beautiful illusion tp!tbe Irish and
that cardinal principle of the De-
mocraeY, Home Rule; his grand
setting forth Of Democracy as the
friend Of labor; his tribute to Vir-4

points were greeted with recurring
tempests of applause. Men waved

Mr.. Davis is honored by the
Southern people because ofhis spot
less personal character and because
he represented their cause in the
struggle which terminated happily
for all concerned nearly a quarter
of a century ago. Mr.. Davis did
not make the rebellion. 1t was the
people who seeded or undertook to
do so. The United States, as wise
.ly as magnanimously, with the con-
currence of the most ardent Union
lists and Abolitionists of the North,
declined to make either a victim or
martyr of Mr.. Davis. He is now
a feeble old man, whose course is
nearly run and who has only pa
triot's interest in his country.
Would it not be more decent, not
to say chivalrous, in the organic ed
itors to permit this honored old
age to end in peace rather than to
use its expiring days to relight the
fires of an extinguished sectional
hate for the sake o. gaining few
votes from the ignorant or the un-
thinking.

smoke tonight has settled down SO dense

Sulphur rivers, near Texarkana, sweep

up canebrnkes, where thousands OF cat-

hres were raging all around the

have been burned, and farmers are organ-

was as loyal to the Union as any John
Sherman ever made.
When he referred to the perfect
union Of the sections to-day under one

spontaneous by far even than which
greeted the incident of the flag. No

we agreed that those who
seek to make the people of other

A UNITED NATION.
The Happy Time Forctold by LincoiA
Has Come at Inst,

The Happy Time Forctold by Lincoin
Has Come at Last.
The Presidents journey through the
South has at last brought about what
Mr. Lincoln foresaw with the vision of
u prophet. In his first inaugural the
soul of him spoke in this final sem
tence:
We are hot enemies, but friends. We must
not be enemies. Though passion may have
strained, 1t must not break, our bonds OF af-
fection. The mystic chords of memory, stretch
ing from every battlefield and patriotic grave
to every loving heart md hcarthstone all over
this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of
the Union when again touched, as surely they
will be by the better angels of our nature.
The time foretold more than a score
of years ago has como at last. The
voice that prophesied the power of the
better nature in our people is silenoed
and the inspired soul that trusted and
hoped is long with the saints, but he
did not misjudge his countrymen, and
at last the banners of the Union MAX
ing glad the cities of the South wave
their welcome to President OF the
Republic who comes in the spirit of
peace to prove that while passion has
strained, it has not broken tho bonds
of affection.
The black people of tho South, de-
ceived into the belief that change OF
parties meant rebondage for them.
look at last on the noble face of the
man who was to be their enemy and
hail him as their President, in whose
hands their liberties are sacred, be-
cause their freedom is fixed in that
law which he impartialy enforces for
white as we'll as black. So the pas
sions of the past melt into good fellow
ship renewed. The spectre Of race
insurrection goes bowling down the
wind to come up no more, and the
people are not northern, nor southern,
nor eastern, nor western. They are
American. Let the curtain fall upon
the tragedy of our history. Clear the
stage and dismiss the audience, for it
is surely land Of "Union and liberty,
now and forever. one and inseparable.

Why All We're Stranded.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.-A singular, albeit
plausible, reason has been suggested by
physician explanatory of the fact that in
the execution of Spies, Parsons, Engel and
Fischer, the four condemned Anarchists,
last Friday, not one Of the necks of the
conspirators was found to be dislocated.
1t was believed now, it would appear, that
the conviction prevailed that the men
would be permitted to speak farewell
from the scatfold, as in fact they did. The
nooses were not, therefore, adjusted in
the proper manner for the speedy execu-
tion of the men. The bailiffs in charge
neglected to finally adjust the neck rope
after each of the men had spoken, which
had been relaxed expressly to permit Of
their words being clearly and distinctly
heard
